The prosecution rested its case Monday in the murder trial of Damien Marsden following testimony from an expert witness that Marsden’s son did not die from injuries he suffered from falling off a bed. Dr. Arne Graff also testified that 4-month-old Rylin Marsden died of injuries following a non-accidental head trauma, which likely occurred just before he started showing symptoms on the afternoon of Aug. 2, 2009. Damien Marsden, 33, of Grygla, Minn., is facing three counts of second-degree murder in state District Court in his son’s death.
The defense team for Damien Marsden took its first steps at putting a dent in the prosecution’s case Tuesday, forwarding its own theory for the death of Marsden’s son bolstered by testimony from a forensic pathologist.
Damien Marsden was found not guilty Wednesday by a 12-person jury on all three murder counts he faced in state District Court in connection to the death of his 4-month-old son. Marsden, 33, of Grygla, Minn., was on trial for causing a head injury to his son, Rylin Marsden, leading to his eventual death in August 2009.
